At higher redshift the only possibility of observing the 400 nm and 520 nm bands is using future space-based telescopes. This figure illustrates the predicted AB magnitude for SLSN Ic out to z sime 10. The solid line is the peak magnitude of M(400) = −21.86 derived here. The lower dotted line is a 1σ scatter on the peak magnitudes, and the upper dotted line illustrates the depth required to reach +20 days after peak to apply the ΔM20(400) correction discussed here (addition of the typical 1fm3 decline). No foreground extinction has been applied to the estimated magnitudes because the Milky Way foreground will be minimal at these wavelengths.
